Care Home Magazine publishes Ally article on the importance of sleep
We’re delighted that Care Home Magazine has featured Ally’s latest article, Why Sleep is the Unsung Hero of Care Home Life.
The piece explores the findings of the Sleep Gap report from Care England and Ally Cares, showing how poor sleep affects every aspect of life in care homes — from falls and hospital admissions to nutrition, medication adherence, and mood.
The article highlights powerful data:
- Less than 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep a night is typical for UK residents
- 63% fewer unwitnessed falls in homes using sleep-positive approaches
- Up to 56% fewer hospital admissions when sleep is improved
- 2 hours of staff time saved per team member, per night
Case studies from The Lawns, Azalea Court, and Wren Hall show the difference that sleep-positive environments make: improving safety, dignity, and quality of life for residents while easing pressures on staff.
As Prof. Martin Green OBE, Chief Executive of Care England, writes:
“Sleep is not a luxury; it is a necessity. It is a cornerstone of health, recovery, and wellbeing.”
We’re proud to see this conversation about sleep gaining traction in the sector and encourage you to read the full article in Care Home Magazine.
